Chapter 1: late for work again!

the sun shone brightly at the city of tokyo especially at the Hitsuzen apartments where the ocuppant of Apartment #2212 will be awoken by, not the sun, but the vibrating of Her mobile phone under her pillow.

She lazily rose her hand to the bedside table to reach her phone and her senses kicked that it was under her pillow.

huffing slightlly She grabbed her phone and flipped it open.

"Hello?" she sleepily answered.

"Anna, Where are you?" said a male voice at the other line.

"Silva?" She asked drowsily. "I'm here at home, still sleeping..." she pulled back her long blonde hair.

"What! Come on ANNA, get up! You're gonna be late again! and you know what Mr. Haruna said, one more tardy slip and you're fired!" the guy named Silva said almost panicking.

Anna mover her head to her left and closed her eyes. "hm... what time is it?" then she gave a yawn.

"it's 7:15. 45 minutes till we open.. Come on, you can still make it! get up and get your lazy butt here asap!" He said, starting to panic.

then it hit Her and woke all of her senses. "Oh Crap! Work! I totally forgot! Argh!" she dropped her phone and rushed to the bathroom.

"Oh now she remembered... geez..." Silva said even without someone on the other line.

Anna went back for her phone and put it on her ear. "I gotta go!"

"Hurry!" he almost yelled.

then she ended the call and hurriedly went back to the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom she took off her sleeping clothes and went inside the shower. She turned it on and hot water came down on her milky body.

"Ow, Ow... OW! Ouch! Hot, hot!" she yelled as she jumped out the shower with a towel clutched in her hand.

She turned it on again and waited for a second to let it cool down a little. as soon the water was at its right temperature she hurrily went inside and took her bath.

After her bath, she rushed to her closet and picked her outfit for the day. She had two choices, the skirt and the light blue polo shirt or the denim pants and the black hoodie... she couldn't decide so she'll just try both.. after she's done perking up the apartment just a little.

She just had her bath robe on and she vaccumed some chips she spilled last night on the carpet. She turned to the right and saw there was still some pieces left. She didn't notice that she was going in circles and next thing she knew her feet were wrapped around the vaccum's cord. And she fell off balance.

"OOF!" she fell on the floor, butt first. "Ow, Ouch..." she rubbed her bottom.

After cleaning up, she dried her hair with a hair dryer and arranged her hair with hair clips by the side of her head.

then she got the clothes she couldn't decide on and tried them both. the first set, the skirt and the polo shirt didn't go well. the shirt was almost transparent and people could see her bra. don't want that one. So she chose the other set, the denim pants and the black hoodie. it suited her just right.

She was almost ready. She went over her vanity mirror and applied lip gloss, she smiled at the sight of her reflection.

"Looking good, kyouyama!" she laughed. then she realized she had to go to work because it was quarter to 8.

"yikes! better get going!" She said to herself. She grabbed her mobile phone, keys to the apartment, her wallet and her favorite red bandana. she stuffed them all in a black body bag. she didn't even bother making her bed.

before going out of her door, she flipped open her phone and it had 2 text messages from Silva. the usual, warning her to hurry up or she'll lose her job. She shook her head and smiled, "He's such a worry-wort!" she sighed and went outside.

She rushed to the hallway... "Ugh! Damn it!" then she returned back at her door. "Forgot to lock up! Damn!" She got the keys from her bag and locked her apartment door. "there!" then she rushed back to the hallway, then down to the stairs. Her apartment was in the 2nd floor so it wasn't a long way down.

When she got outside the building, she called for a taxi, told the driver her destination and he had to step on it.

"Come on, come on! i don't have all day!" Anna ranted at the back of the cab.

there was a traffic jam going on and she was going to be super late if this gets long.

"ugh... couldn't you do something mister?" she asked the driver.

"Sorry lady, but this thing can't fly you know... you'll just have to wait a few minutes." Said the man gruffily.

Anna rolled her eyes and scoffed. Then she sighed. how the heck was she going to get outta this mess? then she had an idea, she'll just have to walk this one. the restaurant was only two to three blocks away. She could make it if she runs. So it was settled.

"i'm getting off." She said to the driver. "here," she gave him her fare and opened the door. "Keep the change." then she ran off to the sidewalk.

At the sidewalk there were many people walking, it was like there was a waiting line or something. Rush hours, how Anna detested them right now. She just have to take action! She squeezed by crowds and dodged business men just to get through.

"Excuse me, Pardon me... Coming though. Excuse... oh, Sorry!" Anna was in a mess.

She finally got out of the rush hour area. it was the 2nd block to her working place, and it was a good sign. She was going to make it!

She ran fast and a smile was plastered on her face. "Yes!"

Suddenly there were a group of kids on skateboards and bikes. "Oh no..."

"hey lady, what's your hurry?" asked one of the kids. then the whole group started circling Anna around. She was annoyed.

"Come on guys, i don't have time for this! Please, let me go.." Anna pleaded, it was a waste being angry at kids. "I'm gonna be late..."

but the kids ignored her. "Ugh. Please STOP!" she said once again. then a kid with a bike stopped and looked at Anna. "hehe... you're a pretty lady. I like you..." He smiled a goofy smile.

then She had an idea. She smiled at the boy, "really? well if you really like me you're gonna have to let me borrow your bike." She grabed the bike from the boy and dashed off.

the kid was dumfounded. "HEY!".

Anna sped off calling back,"I'm sorry, I'll buy you a new bike!"

The boy scratched his head and called out, "but i don't even know where you live lady!"

She didn't quite heard that one because she was almost at the 3rd block. Just a few miles away and all she have to do take a shortcut through the park then turn right and there she was! homebase!

She felt the wind on her face as she rode the bike with such speed. She was lucky there wasn't much people there on the 3rd block or else she could have knocked out several people.

When she was almost half way there, she grinned a thruimphant grin. All she have to do was go straight to the park and... "What the!" Her eyes widened as she saw a stairway at the entrance of the park. "Oh no, I forgot about the damn stairs!"

She couldn't control the bike because she was speeding up and it didn't have brakes. She just have to ride it and go down the stairs at the same time. "Oh no... YAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

the bike went straight at it and it was a bumpy, i mean, BUMPY ride for Anna.

the stairs finally ended and Her butt was aching, but she ignored it for the moment because she was across the street from her job. She looked at her wristwatch and the time was exactly 8:01. she was late, but not that late. just a minute late.

She continued on with her pedaling and she once again sped up. "I can make it! I will make it! and..." She crossed the street and the bike crashed by the nearby wall, luckily she jumped off it right before it went. Phanting heavy breaths, she sighed in relief. "I made it!" then she arranged herself before going at the back way.

She slipped past the back of the building and entered an off-limits door. She went inside and saw a tall, long-haired man standing by the stove, looking a little worried.

She tapped him. "Hey!" the man jumped off his feet and was suprised. "Anna!"

"Hi Silva! did i make it? Is the boss here?" She said through deep breaths.

Silva almost hugged Anna but he just glared at her. "no, you're a minute late. but luckily the boss is in the front checking out the tables with Karim, he's actually stalling for you. I told Mr. Haruna you were already here, and you were in the bathroom."

She sighed in relief. "Whew, thanks Silva! You saved my butt again. Speaking of butts, ow... mines hurt.. Ouch..." She winced at the pain of her buttocks.

Silva laughed. "What happened? did you come here using your hiney?"

"Ha.ha. funny..." Anna said sarcastically as she took off her body bag and put on her green apron and tied her hair up.

Suddenly, the kitchen door slammed open. "KYOUYAMA!"

"oh no..." Silva shook his head.

"Ulp.. M-mr. Haruna?" Anna said with a shakey voice.

Mr. Haruna was a small man with a bushy moustache and has a short temper. He was the owner of the place where Anna and Silva worked.

then a coppered-skin man with wavy hair followed him, "Sorry guys..." He mouthed to Silva and Anna. Silva just nodded as a reply.

"So? you think you can fool me with that excuse now eh Silva?" Mr. Haruna snapped at the long haired man. Silva just glared down on the floor and clenched his fist.

"Mr. Haruna, its not--" Anna interupted but she was cutted off by the middle-aged man.
"And as for you Kyouyama this is your second time to be late for work again! I have no choice but to.." the girl stood up straight and shut her eyes, getting ready for the "F" word. (a/n: NOT the bad one!)

"Wait!" Silva suddenly spoke. "Mr. Haruna, please don't fire her. Please... I-I promise, if she got late once again fire me."

Anna's eyes widdened at the sentence and looked at her friend with a worried face.

"Silva, no..." She said hoping he would take back the words he said. but he just shook his head at her.

"Please Mr. Haruna. Don't fire her..." Silva said as he closed his eyes.

the pudgey man thought about it for a second. "hmm... well, your job is in her hands. So she better not be tardy again, I mean it..."

Silva smiled faintly. "yes, thank you. thank you very much Mr. Haruna"

the small man grumpily huffed. "whatever. just get this place opened and get to work! i don't want anyone slacking!" he turned his heel and went to his office. "Karim!" he spat at the coppered-skin guy by the kitchen door.

Karim stood up straight. "y-yes sir?"

"flip the open sign of the restaurant now!" He ordered.

"yes sir!" then he ran outside and did his work.

When Mr. Haruna was out of sight Anna just stood there and Silva was right beside her. He sighed "Well, better get to work now..."

the girl glared at her friend, "Silva why did you have to tell him that?"

"drop it Anna, let's just get this day over." He sternly said to the blonde.

"No, I'm not gonna just drop it. I mean I could have been better off fired!" She argued.

"I can't let you get fired! I don't want you to be fired! you got that?"

"Why? its my life. not yours... I appreciate everything you do to me but you just had to put your line of work in my problem.."
"because, I know you'll have a hard time finding a job again and i saw you work so hard to get this job. I don't want you to waste it."

Anna just looked down on the floor and she pouted. "but i could have handled Mr. Haruna. I'm not a little girl anymore."

Silva smiled. "Aw, come on... aren't i like the big brother you never had? You said it yourself. So i fullfilled that role for you. being the heroic older sibling..." he laughed.

Anna began to smile. "yeah well... alright, BIG BROTHER. I promise I'll never be late again."

"you better or else i'm the one going to be out of a job!" He said as he playfully hugged Anna then he let her go. "Come on, before Haruna gets us."

The girl smiled and laughed as she followed Silva to do their job.
